Kirkcaldy Then & Now

More about the book

Local historian and native of Kirkcaldy Carol McNeill has told us how much she enjoyed compiling this book not just the research but also walking around re-exploring and taking photographs of her home town. Kirkcaldy has seen dramatic changes over the years and this collection of old and present-day photographs really demonstrates just how much. In the High Street the trams have gone and the shops have new facias but away from the town centre there was much industry and much industrial housing some of it of poor quality so inevitably the town imrpovers and planners planned and improved these out of existence as they also did with Robert Adam's birthplace and Thomas Carlyle's house.
